The human spirit is an untapped resource that can fuel organizations in this era of globalization. While workplace spirituality is often seen as an abstract philosophical construct that may be defined differently by each individual who studies it, fulfillment at work, shared values and sense of meaning along with a sense of belonging or connectedness are largely agreed-upon aspects. When attention is given to these arenas of human behavior, higher levels of engagement that lead to stronger performance and increased satisfaction can be achieved. A new mindset for leadership and education at all levels, local and global, and in all kinds of organizations is proposed to bring the human spirit into the light as a key resource for excellence, esprit de corps, and high performance. Tapping the power of the human spirit has become an educational and international requirement given the challenge of globalization. [For full proceedings, see ED570489.]
